You want power but have no money. That's a problem.

Cheap. Reliable. Fast. Pick two.

A/C lines took a bit of careful bending, but with a little creativity they did indeed work. Be sure to set aside several hours of labor for the work on the a/c lines, it's a bit of trial and error and you don't want to overdo it wink.gif


That's surprising.

I have the rhd connections from the 3sgte compressor. Don't know if they would hook up to my current AC lines.

Did you use any bending tools? or just bend (and hope it doesn't crease) method.


Sorry, I forgot one important part of that. You need to swap the "manifold" from the top of the 7A compressor over to the 3SGTE compressor, THEN the 7A lines will connect, with a little bending. We didn't have to use any tools for the bending work, you just need to go a little at a time and spread the bend over a longer distance so that they don't kink.

Just tried to hook up the ac lines, they ended up rubbing against the berk downpipe.

Yes, you need to "adjust" them a little bit wink.gif
